    China's Global Popularity Surpasses U.S.'s for First Time in Nearly Two Decades

    A new Pew Research survey shows that China is viewed more favorably than the United States in most countries surveyed, marking a significant shift in global public opinion. This trend is largely attributed to a decline in U.S. soft power under the Trump administration, with factors such as tariffs, aid cuts, disdain for allies, and controversial policies contributing to the U.S.'s falling popularity. Meanwhile, China's extensive diplomatic work, promotion of its culture, and development model have helped boost its image worldwide. However, the U.S. still maintains significant support in several countries, including India, which offsets China's popularity. Experts caution that public opinion can swing quickly and that China's gains may not be lasting.
